What a beautiful video! Thank you so much for sharing your visit to the nursery where I also bought a huge amount of my orchid collection throughout the years! Nice to see how they do it! 🥰
Thank you for showing us the nursery. I've been buying from them for over 10 years now and always am amazed of the quality and service they deliver. Certainly my favorite German orchid nursery.
this is such a beautiful gift for all of us you did, and thanks also to the kind owners of schwerter i love thier orchids and have always had great phals and paph from them
Wow Rachel what a lovely video It felt like i was along with you, thanks for sharing., I love Schweters I also get me orchids from them. Have a great day.
You were so near by! I hope you had a good time in Köln the short time you were there. I also live theoretically around an hour from Schwerter but I've never been there. I can't fathom going there by myself, I would be overwhelmed, but it looks so interesting.
I think an orchid nursery is the kind of place that you need to visit on your own, unless you have like-minded friends. My family would not have put up with two hours in the one spot 😂 Go visit!
I love that you did all that to get to a favorite shop! I have to drive two hours or more to get to my favorite shops for Tropical plants (I don't have any greenhouses near me) and ppl tend to think I'm crazy! For orchids, (beside phalaenopsis) I have to go 4+ hours-- So your trip made perfect sense to me! Thank you for taking us!!!
Wow Rachel, you had all the odds against you, but you managed to tease us all. Lol it is a remarkable place. Not you typical run-of-the-mill. So many orchids so little time. I think it is astonishing you found time to film and shop in a blink of an eye. Can't wait to see what you picked up, (besides your pieces of clothing. ) lol
Fabulous! I think a trip with a very large suitcase should be planned for the fall! Look at the size of some of those orchids! Rachel that had to be difficult choosing. Those cuthbertsoni reminded me of portulaca, so colorful, but something I would have gravitated towards. I'm imagining the fragrance of those greenhouses....🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹..... Thanks for taking the time to video your trip, it would have been a lot easier and quicker for you not to have, so very appreciated!
Thank you Rachel,I have placed my first big order with them and read a few horrible opinions afterwards..so your video is so reassuring while I wait for my catasetums and others to arrive.Greetings,Irena
@@GardeningatDouentza I'll let you know what my new aquisitions look like..so excited to look the phal yaphon green batman in the eye,with the rene marques cross...I think I chose like you(I've just rewatched what you bought🙂,and I agree that flowers are flowers),plus the chysis and two catasetums...they'll be fine..so excited!!!
Awesome Video! You need to take one of them fold up travelers trolleys, a serious must have when visiting garden centers on holiday. I would of loved some of them clay pots. I have not seen any like that in the UK.Such a shame they do not ship abroad. Thanks for sharing that amazing place!
Hey Rachel, you have to look at the top of the labels for the prices. You can see it clearly in the shots of the Blc. King of Taiwan (19.95) and the Phal schilleriana hybrid (14.95€) :) i am at the nursery all the time since i live in the neighbouring city and i just LOVE it! :D
I bought a Paphiopedilum delanatii var. vinicolor this weekend at the East Midlands OS Show from Phoenix Orchids of Halifax. The leaves are very dark on the underside with purple variegation around the edges. It’s worth it for the foliage alone.
Gardening at Douentza it’s not all that big so it came as a surprise to be told it’s flowering size. It’s positively minuscule alongside my American Hybrid! Fingers crossed as the advice was to treat it like my Maudiae, which I have rebloomed and is growing well for me.
Hello rachie I am Olson one of the regular visitors of Schwester s house and every time I go there I spend all the day there and always I feel that I need more time to stay there. Bye the way the prices are in all the labels of the plants written in a small numbers, watch the plants you got from them in the past.
if you come one day to the netherland please feel free to contact me i just discover sum nurseries here to visit but i dont have the ability to film them and put them in youtube Gardening at Douentza
I have no idea, Alberto. I know they were about to pot up some of them as the paraphernalia was nearby but I don't know if that was the plan for the lot.
Hi I was wondering how you were able to see the nursery? Do you have to book it in advance? It looked like you had the place to yourself! Please let me know! Thank you in advance 💚
The prices are on the name tag :D the number on the left of the species name, "0000/1690" it's 16.90 euro:) love the vid! I hopefully will go to Germany soon and visit Schwerter and elsner Orchideen again:)
Haha. It is so funny to think how long I have been buying Schwerter orchids and never cracked their secret code 😊 I see yu have overcome your fear of flying. It is good!
Hello, sorry for the question, it's maybe personnal, i would like to know how you bring yours orchids in irland. i understand that you travel on plane. you have yours orchids with you on cabin or they were in the airplane hold? I ask because i have a friend who go to germany for vacation and i would buy orchid from germany.

A truly amazing place. You need days there not 2 hours. Oh so much to buy!
I so agree 😊

I bought a Paphiopedilum delanatii var. vinicolor this weekend at the East Midlands OS Show from Phoenix Orchids of Halifax. The leaves are very dark on the underside with purple variegation around the edges. It’s worth it for the foliage alone.
You've got to love the foliage on some of those paphs! I hope it does brilliantly for you 😊

@@Rockdoc2174 Chose American hybrids are like giants though 🤣
@@GardeningatDouentza that they are!
Enjoyed very much! Now wondering what you bought.
Soon to be revealed 🙃
Hello rachie
I am Olson one of the regular visitors of Schwester s house and every time I go there I spend all the day there and always I feel that I need more time to stay there.
Bye the way the prices are in all the labels of the plants written in a small numbers, watch the plants you got from them in the past.
Haha. No way. You are right. I have been buying Schwerter orchids for years and never cracked their secret code 😊
if you come one day to the netherland please feel free to contact me i just discover sum nurseries here to visit but i dont have the ability to film them and put them in youtube Gardening at Douentza
😃 you tried too hard not to break the new growth Rachel 😃Happy growing.
Probably 😊
Hi Rachel!
Do you know why they keep the seedlings out like that?I'm really curious :)
I have no idea, Alberto. I know they were about to pot up some of them as the paraphernalia was nearby but I don't know if that was the plan for the lot.
"A kind of nightmare" 😂😂 Yeah 2 hours is not enough...Thanks Rachel
Thanks for watching 😊
Hi I was wondering how you were able to see the nursery? Do you have to book it in advance? It looked like you had the place to yourself! Please let me know! Thank you in advance 💚
Hi there Samantha. In the details/description of this video is a link to the Schwerter website. Their opening times are mentioned there.
Try taking your difficult Orchids into the shower/bathroom for a spell

Good to know. Thanks
Look for glazed pots.
The prices are on the name tag :D the number on the left of the species name, "0000/1690" it's 16.90 euro:) love the vid! I hopefully will go to Germany soon and visit Schwerter and elsner Orchideen again:)
Haha. It is so funny to think how long I have been buying Schwerter orchids and never cracked their secret code 😊
I see yu have overcome your fear of flying. It is good!
@@GardeningatDouentza yes, haha, but I didn't know either until my friend told me. Haha
Yes, I loved my first flight :D it was like a Rollercoaster :D
How do they repot so much? It would take me an hour to repot six orchids. I guess its because they are seedlings.
Well, I don't know how they do it either. Repotting takes me ages too :)
Hello, sorry for the question, it's maybe personnal, i would like to know how you bring yours orchids in irland. i understand that you travel on plane. you have yours orchids with you on cabin or they were in the airplane hold? I ask because i have a friend who go to germany for vacation and i would buy orchid from germany.
I just replied to you on another post. Good luck.
@@GardeningatDouentza yes i saw it, thank you again
Awesome Awesome AWESOME!! I of each please...
Do they ship to the U.S. ?
Robert Forrest it seems they do: shop.schwerter-orchideenzucht.de/shipping.php?language=en&osCsid=eeu5j0acf30cchm1jke7rh5842
Six days?? Orchid lovers need patience, I knooow. :D
It'll be worth the wait and besides there'll be other videos inbetween 😊
I agree with Bumblebee I clicked on it again 🤣
The suspense is too much 🤣
